Kapil Sharma, who had a humble beginning in a small town in Punjab, is now a household name globally, known for his epic comedy and quick-wittedness. Along his journey, his fanbase has only increased. Kapil once mentioned how during one of his US tours, an elderly couple visited him from afar and gifted him hand-knitted clothes for his children. Audiences across age groups have only showered love on the comedian.

With an extensive following on social media, Kapil has been labelled as one of the best comedians in India by his fans. Fans have often referred to his shows as a great way of spending quality time with family, a much-needed dose of laughter or even a much-needed break from the mundane.

Kapil Sharma and his gang have now arrived on Netflix to entertain his fans, not just in India but globally - in 190 countries - with The Great Indian Kapil Show. Fans are delighted about the easy access to watch his show on any device with new episodes dropping every Saturday. This also gives them the freedom to tune in any time, without waiting for the telecast time on TV.

Ken, 33, a fan of Kapil Sharma from Gujarat, told Mid-day.com, "We try to watch the episode when it drops, or else watch it on Sunday with family while having our meals. It's easy for us to watch it on mobiles. My sister in the UK also can watch him now."

Sunil Grover's homecoming has added to the excitement this season on Netflix. Prem, a 32-year-old fan from Jharkahnd, said, "Everyone wanted Sunil and Kapil to get together. And Netflix made that happen. We fans are very happy to see them back together."

The show has been a relief for many during their tough times. Twenty-six-year-old Vandana from Delhi recalled how the show has been a relief for her when she was suffering from health issues. "He makes us all laugh and forget about our depression and health troubles. We want someone to make us laugh and make it easier to deal our problems. I was once suffering from some health issue and his show helped me take my mind off," she said.

The Great Indian Kapil Show is the first Indian series to trend in the Global Top 10 TV Non-English for 4 consecutive weeks. Loyal fans of the show have showered a lot of love on the weekly show contributing to its massive success. The Great Indian Kapil Show has lots more in store with a first-ever appearance of Aamir Khan as well an episode with global music sensation - Ed Sheeran.
